Mythical Creatures

Like some of you, I have always been fascinated by stories of mythical and fantastic creatures like werewolves, witches or vampires. Some of them are bright and beautiful, others dark and terrifying but, no matter how bizarre these creatures are, or how unreal the stories seem, there are some people who truly believe in the existence of mythological creatures. There are some people who even claim to be werewolves or witches, or to have supernatural powers. Of all the mystic creatures the most fascinating are and have been Vampires. The first reference to vampires in a published book goes back to 1897 in a novel entitled Dracula.

And just look at what is happening now… They are among us -- in book stores, on movie screens, TV sets and billboards, in graphic novels and video games all across the world! While each had singular popularity, vampires' fictional presence has never been greater than it is today. Stephanie Meyer is the current queen of vamp-lit with a reported 70 million copies of the Twilight series sold, followed by the super-hit Twilight movie.

But what is it with all this fascination about Vampires? What do you think?
